You may have strummed, plucked, picked, bowed, but have you ever... made or fixed? Join Marshall Bruné as we go through the ins and outs of what being a luthier is truly like.

Renowned luthier Marshall Bruné is a highly pursued workman with over two decades of experience. His instruments are known for their powerful sound, astoundingly rapid response, clean, pure tone, and remarkable build quality. He specializes in all styles of acoustic guitars—classical, flamenco, and steel string—as well as violins, violas, and cellos.

In addition to building and repair, Marshall Bruné is an active member of the lutherie community. He belongs to the Guild of American Luthiers as well as the Guitar Foundation of America. In 2011, he became the youngest presenter at the GAL conference with a presentation on traditional French polish techniques. He continues to offer the course as a three-day class to luthiers looking to enhance the value of their instruments.

This event is presented as part of Meet the Makers - a series introducing the possibilities of making. Learn more about Marshall Brune, view past programs and meet a variety of Makers at ahml.info/makers
